I am back working on more Swedish equipment
from WW2. First up is a 20mm model of a Stridsvagn M/37 a Swedish built version
of the Czechoslovak CKD AH-IV Tankette. Two were built and sent to Sweden from Czechoslovakia,
the other 46 were built by Volvo in Sweden. Sweden had a total of 48 tanks in
service during WW2. All the tanks were
built in 1938 and 1939. The Tanks stayed in service until 1953.
Next up are four MTB (Motor Torpedo Boat) that were designed
in Sweden based on the Italian MAS and a British designed Vosper’s MTB that were
purchased by Sweden in 1939. The New design were designated T15- T18 and
were a combination of the Italian and British design and were successful. There
was a follow-on production which increased some weapons and increased power
from new Engines. These miniatures are
from PT Dockyard and are 3mm in scale.
Have a good week!
Skål!!
Lovely little tank and splendid Torpedo boats! I am happily learning more about the Swedish armed forces in WWII that I had no idea about! The cute tank will get you 8 points and the MTB's are 4 points each giving you a grand total of 24 points, splendid!
All the best Iain

Wow excellent Nordic goodies! Love the little tank, and extra nice to see the cross breeding of an Italian MAS with a Vosper. Hopefully they ran better than my mums old FIAT or dads Austin Allegro.
ReplyDeleteLove the tank Mark!

ReplyDeleteYou caught my heart with this entry as I've been driving Volvos since 2001, I'm a fan. I'm also a fan of small tankettes and recon vehicles, so this entry is 10 over 10 for me
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Cheers
ReplyDeleteBeing a Volvo that tank was probably best in its class for safety and had great seats. :) Wonderful work Mark!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Mark, I'm really liking the Swedish stuff. I've got a 6mm '80s Swedish force in the lead mountain which might get painted up later in the challenge
ReplyDeleteGreat little pieces of Swedish history!
ReplyDeleteBeauties, all of them!
ReplyDeleteLove the tankette!
ReplyDelete48 tanks in total!? You could totally do the whole fore even in 54mm! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a shape looking tank and I'm completely gobsmacked by the ships you guys are cranking out. I quite like the bases you painted up for them.
